I prefer to think of it as herd-culling.

Yeah, I'm really disappointed at how slowly the vaccines are rolling out in Ontario. My wife's mom got hers two (or maybe 3?) weeks ago in Montreal. We're only hitting that age group now. Also, get the vaccines to essential workers asap ffs... first responders, grocery store workers, school employees, etc... giter done.Also just watched the announcement on this. For fuck sakes.
This is just starting to get loony. Sure they enact a stay at home order, but what is changing from before? My region was already in "lock down". Ugh.
I don't understand it.
I have monday and tuesday booked off, as we were going to go to a cottage that the girlfriends parents had rented for the week. Oh well, better find a way out of that.
Needles in arms, needles in arms! Hoopla - I work in what they call an essential business and one that is high risk in some areas. Okay.....we're all waiting for the vaccine, where is it??
I too took next week off, for "spring break". I'm going to have both boys at home. Good thing the snow is melted, and I have a canoe now. But I was hoping to hit the pumptrack a few times, but I've read reports of by-law shooing kids away from it and skateparks.
Was also thinking of building a shed in the backyard, but I think (still need to check) that hardware stores will be closed. Not sure if they fall into the "garden centre" category.

a friend who is a HCP said the best way to find a vaccine is "find the nearest red zip code"Can you find your way to Spokane?
COVID herd immunity? Parts of Washington state appear in no mood to join this herd
Vaccine appointments are going unfilled in some red parts of Washington state — prompting concern that as with every other part of the coronavirus pandemic, the vaccine effort has gotten tribalized and political.www.seattletimes.com
Yeah, I discovered them last year. They've been ridiculously fast (like next day delivery to Ottawa). Their return policy is great (if you become a member), and their sister site The Last Hunt is also good. Got the kids winter clothes and shoes through them. I'm hoping they expand into mountain bike stuff more aggressively.
fwiw, I'm looking for Tannus Tubeless inserts. I installed mine a couple of weeks ago and so far so good. Easy to install at least. I'm trying to track one down for my son's bike since he seems to have taken a liking to technical riding. I bought mine from Ridley's Bike Shop (also a decent option) in AB last year, but they're out of stock on the 27.5s...
Vaccination appointment scheduled unexpectedly for 4/29, wife on 4/30. Almost scored one for 4/14 but I was a split second too slow.
Probably also true is minority neighborhoods. My vacc site was in one of the less white parts of Seattle however everyone in line was white. Although timing could be part of it as a lot of people probably can't take a few hours off in the middle of the day. My employer has given everyone a 4 hour charge line to get one.
case in point, i had to go to Lancaster for mine.
Amish vaccination site ?
I continue to rain death upon the Chipmunk population. Caught two more of the little bastards making seven murdered so far.
This is precisely why I felt no shame in jumping the line three weeks ago. My town:Can you find your way to Spokane?

You were doing them a favor by becoming a non-transmitting member of society.
nah. Lancaster is surprisingly modernized, despite the ever present Amish / Mennonite population.
I was joking. Been to Lancaster many times in the 80s. Probably a little more modern now than it was back then.
Like usual, a bit late to the party.
Germany.
That is where most of the stuff I have ordered for the last few years have come from. That has kind of changed now due to some of the shops stopping shipping to Canuckistan, supposedly due to Covid. As well, Shitmano and SCAM both dropped the ban hammer on sales into North America to protect the so hard done by distributors.
I will probably still get tires and bits and bobs from the Fatherland, as even top priced Maxxis are stupid cheap compared to Canada. For the S/S nazi brothers - not too sure - will just shop around.
Is Treefort still a thing?

Looks like. I haven't used them since the Canadian dollar was on par with the US dollar. Their site was so damn easy to price match - most of the work was already done by other shoppers.
24 hours after my J&J vaccine I started to get some serious chills and couldn't warm up. Thought I was starting to have a bad reaction. Turns out I turned off the heat yesterday and it was 50 degrees in the house. Carry on.
Let's be honest, there isn't much of a question.And you (rightfully) question my intelligence...
have had license suspended in virginia....tennessee....colorado....
tickets recently....2 or 3 years ago in montana and wyoming....
working my way down to just warnings from cops now....
Take that, ball joints!
Uhhh...what was the question?
42
can't ask that one....it's retired
41 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/2^n + .... 1/2^∞

communication is not their strong point but I did get what I ordered...
That's pretty common in the Subaru "culture" now. They start with a lot of ground clearance already, can easily be raised 2", there have been underbody plates for years because of rally usage/lowering in 4-season climates, and they can be easily converted to small campers using a box, hitch, and small awning. This guy is really showing off his "off-road capacity", but it's in-line with the category of people who can't afford a sprinter but want to live that lifestyle in a reliable car. That is more common with Outback's though.
I however am going the other direction. I don't drive it off-road enough, and when I do, rough enough to even justify my current height (9" ground clearance). Dropping it about 1.5" and proceeding to turn it into a well handling, slightly higher sitting car. Still more clearance than a WRX or STI (4.9") with par level handling. Even 1" more than the All-Road that we were looking too.
